Iv  The   PREFACE. 

I  have  been  long  convinced,  that  one  great 
Occafion   of     th  s  Evil  arifts  from   the   Matter 
and  Words  to  which  we  confine  all  our  Songs. 
Some  of   them  are  almoft  oppofite  to  the  Spi- 
rit of  the  Gofpe!  :    M^ny   of  them  foreign   to 
the  State   of  the  New   Teftamenr,    and  widely 
different   from    the    prefent    Circumftances    of 
Chriltians.     Hence  it  comes  to  pafs,  that  when 
fpiritual  AfFeclions  are  excited  in  us,  and  our 
Souls  are  raifed  a  little  above  this  Earth  in  the 
Beginning  of  a  Pfalm,  we  are  checked,  on  a  fud- 
den,  in  our  Afcent  to  Heaven,  by  fome  Expref- 
fions  that  are  more  fuited  to  the  Days  of  Carnal 
Ordinances,  and  nt  only  to  be  fung  in  the  Worldly 
Sancluary.     When  we  are  juft  entering  into  an 
Evangelical  Frame,  by  fome  of  the  Glories  of  the 
Gofpel    prefented   in   the  brighter!  Figures    of 
'Judaifm,  yet  the  very  next  Line,  perhaps,  which 
the  Clerk  parcels  out  unto  us,  hath  fomething  in 
it  fo  extremely  Jevjifh  and  cloudy,  that  darkens 
our  Sight  of  God  the  Saviour.     Thus  by  keep 
ing  too  clofe  to  David  in  the  Houfe  of  God,  th 
Vail  of  Mofes  is  thrown  over  our  Hearts.    Whil 
we  are  kindling  into  Divine  Love  by  the  Mediu 
tions  of  the  loving  Kbidnefs  of  God,  and  the  Mul- 
titude of  his  tender  Mercies,  v\ithin  a  few  Verfe 
fome  dreadful  Curfe  againft  Men  is  propofed  t 
our  Lips;  That  God  would  add  Iniquity  unto  tbel 
Iniquity,  nor  let  them   co?ne  into  his  Right  eoufnefs 
but  blot  them  cut  of  the  Book  of  the  Living,  Pfaln 
Ixix.    26,    27,    28,     which  is    contrary    to  th 
New  Commandment  of  loving  our  Enemies',  am 
even  under  the  Old  Teftament  is  beft  accounte. 
for,  by  referring  it  to  the  Spirit  of  Prephetic 
Vengeance.     Some  Sentences  of  the  Pfalmift,  ths 
areexprefiive  of  the  Temper  of  our  own  Heart! 
and  the  Circumftances  of  our  Lives,  may  comf 
pu§  our  Spirits  to  Senoufnefs,  and  allure  us  tl 


The    P  R  E  F  A  C  E.  v 

a  fweet  Retirement  within  ourfelves  5    but 
mett  with  the  following  Line,  which  fo  peculi- 
arly belongs  but  to  one  Action  or  Hour  of  the  Life 
of  David  or  of  Afapb,  that  breaks  off  our  Song 
in  the  Mi   (t ;  our  Conferences  are  affrighted,  leit 
we  (hculd  fpeak  a  Fallhood  unto  God  :  Thus  the 
Powers  of  our  Soul*  are  (hocked  on  a  Hidden,  and 
our  Spirits  ruffled,  before  we  have  Time  to  re- 
fit 61  that  this   may  be  fung  only  as  a  Hiftory  of 
ancient  Saints :  And,  perhaps,  in  fume  Inftances 
that  Salvo  is  hardly  lufficient  neither.     Betides,  < 
it  almoft  always  fpcil.  the  Devotion,  by  breaking 
the  uniform   Thread  of  it.     For  while  cur  Lips 
and  our  Hea  ts  run  on  fweetly  together,  applying 
the  Words  to  our  own  Cafe,  there  is  fomething 
of  Divine  Delight  in  it :  But  at  once  we  are^prced 
to  turn  off  the  Application   abruptly,  Jim  our 
Lips  fpeak   nothing   but   the   Heart   of  Da\ 
Thus  our  own  Hta;ts  are,  as  it  were,  forbid  the 
Purfuit  of  the  Song,  and  then  the  Harmony  and 
the  Worfhip  grow  dull  of  meer  NecefTity. 

Many  Ministers,  and  many  private  Chriftians, 
have  long  groaned  under  this  Inconvenience,  and 
have  wifhed  raiher  than  3tt  mpt*d  a  Reforma- 
tion :  At  their  importunate  and  repeated  Re- 
quelh,  I  have  for  fame  Years  paft  devoted  many 
Hours  of  Leifure  to  this  Service.  Far  be  it  from 
my  Tnoughts  to  lay  a  fide  the  Book  of  PL-dms  in 
public  Worfhip  ;  few  can  prerend  fo  great  a  V?.- 
lue  for  them  as  myfelf :  It  is  the  moif  Artful,  molt 
Devotional  and  Divine  Collection  of  Poefyj  and 
nothing  can  be  fuppoied  more  proper  to  raife  a 
pious  Soul  to  Heaven,  than  fame  Parts  of  * 
Book;  never  was  a  Piece  of  experimental  Divi- 
nity fo  nobly  written,  and  fo  |uftly  reverenced 
and  admired  :  But  it  mult  be  acknowledged  . 
that  there  are  a  thoufand  Lir.es  in  it  which  w 
not  made  for  a  Church  in  oar  D

as  it-sown:  There  are  alfo  many  Deficiencies  of 
Light  and  Glory,  which  ou'r  Lord  Jefus  and  his 
ApoiUes  have  fopplied  in  the  Writings  of  the 
New  Tcftament ;  and  with  this  Advantage  I  have 
ccmpofed  thefe  Spiritual  Songs,  which  are  now 
prelcnted  :orhe  Ws  rid.  Nor  is  the  Attempt  vain- 
glorious or  prefuming  ;  for  in  reflect  of  clear 
Evangelical  Knowledge,  The  leaf,  in  tbi  Kingdom 
of  Heaven  is  greater  than  ail  the  Jewijb  Profheis> 
Matt.  xi.  j  i.  f-y-, 

Now  Jet  me  give  a  fhort  Account  of  the  follow- 
ing CompoAlres. 

The  greateit  Part  of  them  are  fuited  to  the 
general  S'atecf  the  Gofpel,  and  the  mo* 
raon  Affairs  of  Chnitians :  I  hope  there  will  £>e 
very  jJL$\i'o unci  but  what  may  properly  be  ufed 
in  a^Jtgjc^us  AiTembly,  and  not  one  of  them 
burmay  well  be  adapted  to  fome  Seafons,  either 
of  private  or  of  public  Worfhip.  The  raoft  fre- 
quent Tempers  and  Changes  of  our  Spirit,  and 
Conditions  of  our  Life,  are  here  copied,  and  the 
Breathings  of  our  Piety  exprefied  according  to 
the  Variety  of  our  Paflions  ;  our  Love,  our  Fear, 
our  Hope,  our  Defire,  our  Sorrow,  our  Wonder, 
and  our  joy,  as  they  are  refined  into  Devotion, 
and  act  under  the  Influence  and  Conduct  of  the 
BitiTed  Spirit  j  all  converting  with  God  the  Fa- 
ther, by  the  new  and  living  Way  of  Accefs  to  the 
Throne,  even  the  Perfon  and  Mediation  of  our 
Lord  J  (jus  Chrtft.  To  him  alfo,  even  to  the  Lamb 
that  nx'us JJain,  and  ?.g-z>j  lives,  I  hare  addrefle<i  ma- 
ny a  Seng  ;  for  thus  doth  the  Holy  Scripture  in- 
ftruci  and  teach  us  to  worfhip,  in  the  various 
fhort  Patterns  of  Chriftian  Pfalmody  defcribed  in 
the  Revelations.  I  have  avoided  the  more  ob- 
fcure  and  controverted  Points  of  Chrillianity, 
that  we  might  all  obev  the  Direction  of  the  Word 
of  God,  undying  his  Praifesnxiih  Underflanding,

Pfalm  xlvii.  7.  The  Contentions  and  diftinguifh- 
ing  Words  of  Setts  and  Parties  are  fecluded,  that 
whole  Affemblies  might  afhft  at  the  Harmony, 
and  different  Churches  join  in  the  fame  Wcrfhip, 
without  Offence. 

If  any  Expreflions  occur  to  the  Reader  that  fa- 
vour of  an  Opinion  different  frcm  his  own,  yet 
he  may  obferve  thefe  are  generally  fuch  as  are 
capable  of  an  extenfive  Senfe,  and  may  be  ufed 
with  a  charitable  Latitude.  I  think  it  is  molt 
agreeable,  that  what  is  provided  for  public  Sing- 
ing, fliouid  give  to  fincere  Confciences  as  little 
Disturbance  as  poflible.  However,  where  2ny 
unplealmg  Word  is  found,  he  that  leads  the  Wor- 
ship, may  fubftitutea  better;  for  (bleifed  beGcd) 
we  are  not  confined  to  the  Words  of  any  Man  in 
cur  public  Solemnities. 

The  while  Bock  is  written  in  four*$orts  of 
Metre,  and  fitted  to  the  molt  common  Tunes. 
I  have  feldom  permitted  a  Srop  in  the  Middle  of 
a  Line,  and  feldom  left  the  End  of  a  Line  without: 
one,  to  comport  a  little  with  the  uahappy  Mix- 
ture of  Reading  and  Singing,  which  cannot  pre- 
fently  be  refoimed.  The  Metaphors  are  gene- 
rally funk  to  the  Level  of  vulgar  Capacities.  I 
have  aimed  at  Eafe  of  Numbers,  and  Smoothnefs 
of  Sound,  and  endeavoured  to  make  the  Senfe 
plain  and  obvious.  If  the  Verfe  appears  Co  gentle 
and  flowing  as  to  incur  theCenfure  of  Feeblenefs, 
1  may  honeftly  affirm,  that  fcmeiimes  it  coft  me 
Labour  to  make  it  fo  :  Some  of  the  Beauties  of 
Poefy  are  neglected,  and  fome  wilfully  defaced  : 
I  have  thrown  out  the  Lines  that  were  too  fono- 
rous,  and  have  given  an  Allay  to  the  Verfe,  led 
a  mere  exalted  Turn  of  Thought  or  Language, 
fhould  darken  or  difturb  the  Devotion  of  the 
weakelt  Souls.  But  hence  it  comes  to  pafs,  that 
I  have  been  forced  to  lay  affde  many  Hymns  after

they  were  finifhed,  and  utterly  exclude  them 
from  this  Volume,  becaule  of  the  bolder  Figure 
of  Speech  that  crouded  themfelves  into  the  Verfe, 
and  a  more  unconfined  Variety  of  Number,  which 
I  could  not  eafily  refirain. 

Thefe,  with  many  other  Divine  and  Moral 
Compofures,  are  now  printed  in  a  fecond  Edition 
of  the  Poems,  intituled,  Hera  Lyrica\  for  as  in 
that  Book  1  have  endeavoured  to  pleafe  and  profit 
the  politer  Part  of  Mankind,  without  offending 
the  plainer  Sort  of  Chriftians,  fo  in  this  it  has 
been  my  Labour  to  pi  omote  the  pious  Entertain- 
ment of  Souls  truly  ferious,  even  of  the  meaneft 
Capacity,  and  at  the  fame  Time  (if  poiTible)  not 
to  give  Difguft  to  Perfons  of  richer  Senfe,  and 
nicer  Education  ;  and  I  hope,  in  the  prefent  Vo- 
lume, this  End  will  appear  to  be  purfued  with 
much  greater  Happine/s  than  in  the  firft  Impref- 
fion  of  it,  though  the  World  allures  me  the  for- 
mer has  not  much  Reafon  to  complain. 

The  whole  is  divided  into  three  Books. 

In  the  Firftt  I  have  borrowed  the  Senfe,  and 
much  of  the  Form  of  the  Song  from  fome  par- 
ticular Portions  of  Scripture,  and  have  para- 
phrafed  moft  of  the  Doxologies  in  the  New 
Teftament  that  contain  any  Thing  in  them  pe- 
culiarly Evangelical  j  and  many  Parts  of  the  Old 
Testament  alfo,  that  have  a  Reference  to  tfac 
Times  of  the  Mej/iab.  In  thefe  I  expedf.  tc  be 
often  cenfured  for  a  too  religious  Observance  of 
the  Words  of  Scripture,  whereby  the  Ve:  fe  is 
weakened  and  debafed,  according  to  the  Judg- 
ment of  the  Criticks:  But  as  my  whole  Defign 
was  to  aid  the  Devotion  of  Chriftians,  fo  more 
efpecialiy  in  this  Part  :  And  I  am  fatisfied  I  mall 
hereby  apain  two  Ends,  <vh&.  aflift  the  Worfnip 
of  all  ferious  Minds,  to  whom  the  Exprefllons  of 
Scripture  are  ever  dear  and  delightful,  and  gra- 
tify 


Tie    P  R  E  F  A  C  E.  « 

tify  theTafteand  Inclination  of  rhofe,  whc  I 
nothing  muft  be  fung  unto  God  bur  the  Tj 
tions  of  his  own  Word.     Yet  you  will  a!wa\ 
in  this  Paraphrafe,  dark  ExpreiTions  enlighten- 
ed, and  the  Levitical  Ceremonies,  and  H< 
Forms  of  Speech,  changed   into  the  Worfnip  or 
the  Gofpej,  and  explained   in   the  Language  cf 
our  Time  and  Nation  j   and  what  would  not  bear 
fuch  an  Alteration,    is  omitted,   and   laid  allde. 
After  this  Manner  mould  I  rejoice  to  fee  a  good 
Fart  of  the  Book  of  Pfaims  fitted  for  the  I 
our  Churches,  and  Dai-id  con  verted  into  a  C  hn- 
ftian  :  But  becaufe  I  cannot  perfuade  others  to 
attempt  this  glorious  Work,  I  have  fuffefed  my- 
felf  to  be  perfumed  to  begin  it,  and  have,  through 
Divifte  Goodnefs,   already  proceeded  half  Way 
through. 

The  Second  Part  con  (ids  of  Hymns,  wfcofe 
Form  is  of  mere  human  Composures,  but  I  hope 
the  Senfe  and  Mateiials  will  always  appear  Di- 
vine. I  might  have  brought fo me  Text  (  r  other, 
and  applied  it  to  the  Margin  of  every  Veife,  if 
this  Method  had  been  as  ufeful  as  it  was  eafy.  It 
there  be  any  Poems  in  the  Book  that  are  capable 
of  giving  Delight  to  Perfons  of  a  more  refined 
Taite  and  polite  Education,  perhaps  they  may  be 
found  in  this  Part;  but  except  they  lay  &fide  the 
Humour  of  Criticifm,  and  enter  into  a  o 
Frame,  every  Ode  here  already  defpairs  of  plea- 
fing.  I  con  re  s  myfelf  to  have  been  Ho  often 
tempte-d  away  from  the  more  Spiritual  Def.gns  I 
propofed,  by  fome  gay  and  flowery  ExprefTions 
that  gratified  the  Fancy  ;  the  bright  Images  too 
often  prevailed  above  the  Fire  of  Divine  A  flec- 
tion ;  and  the  Light  exceeded  the  Heat :  Yet  I 
hope,  in  many  of  them  the  Reader  will  find  that 
Devotion  didfated  the  Song,  and  the  Head  and 
Hand  were  nothing  but  Interpreters  and  Secreta- 
A  5

rie*  to  the  Jleart :  Nor  is  the  Magnificence  or- 
Boldnefs  of  the  Figures  comparable  to  that  Di- 
xine  Licence,  which  is  found  in  the  i8th  and 
68th  Pfalms,,  feveral  Chapters  of  Job,  and  other 
Poetical  Parts  of  Scripture  :  And  in  this  Kefpect 
I  may  hope  to  et'cape  the  Reproof  of  thofe  who 
pay  a  facred  Reverence  to  the  Bible. 

I  have  prepared  the  Third  Part  only  for  the 
Celebration  of  the  Lord's  Supper,  that,  in  Imi- 
tation of  our  BleiTed  Saviour,  we  might  fmg  an 
Hymn  after  we  have  partaken  of  the  Bread  and 
Wine.  Here  you  will  find  fome  Paraphraf s  of 
Scripture,  and  fome  other  Ccmpofitions.  There 
are  above  One  Hundred  Hymns  in  the  two  for- 
mer Parts,  that  may  very  properly  be  ufed  in  this 
Ordinance,  and  fometimes  perhaps  appear  more 
fuitable  than  any  of  thefe  )aft  j  but  there  are  Ex- 
preflions  generally  ufed  in  thefe,  which  confine 
them  only  to  the  Table  of  the  Lord,  and  there- 
fore  I  have  diftinguilhed  and  fet  them  by  them- 
felves. 

If  the  LORD,  who  inhabits  the  Praifes  of 
Ifraely  (hall  refufe  to  fmile  upon  this  Attempt 
tor  the  Reformation  of  Pfalmody  amongft  the 
Churches,  yet  I  humbly  hope  that  his  blefTed 
Spirit  will  make  thefe  Compofures  vifeful  to> 
private  Chriftians;  and  if  they  may  but  attain 
the  Honour  of  being  efteemed  pious  Medita- 
tions, to  affift  the  devout  and  the  retired  Sow!  in 
the  Exercifes  of  Love,  Faith  and  Joy,  it  will  be 
a  valuable  Compensation  of  my  Labours  :  My 
Heart  flia.ll  rejoice  at  the  Notice  of  it,  and  my 
Cod  fhal.l  receive  the  Glory.  This  was  my  Hope 
and  Vow  in  the  firft  publication  \  and  it  is  now 
my  Duty  to  acknowledge  to  him,  with  Thankful- 
ness, how  ufeful  he  has  made  thefe  Compofitions 
already,  to  the  Comfort  and  Edification  of  Socie- 
ties, 3,nd  of  pi  ivate  Perfons :  And  upon  the  fame

A  D  VERT:  I S  E  ME  NT  \ 

Concerning  the  Second  Edition. 

THERE  are  aim  oft  150  new  Hymns  added, 
and  one  or  more  Anted  to  every  Theme 
and  Suhjeci  in  Divinity.  Having  f'cuftd  by  Con- 
verfe  with  Chriitians,*  what  Words  or  Lines  in 
the  former  made  them  lefs  ufeful,  I  have  not 
only  made  various  Corrections  in  them,  but 
have  endeavoured  to  avoid  the  fame  Mi  ft  a  Ices 
in  all  the  new  Compofmes.  Ami  whereas  many 
of  the  former  were  too  particularly  adapted  to 
fpecial  Frames  and  Seafons  of  the  Chriftian  Life, 
almoft  all  that  are  added  have  a  more  general 
and  cxtenfive  Senfe,  and  may  be  aflhmed  and 
lung  by  meft  Perfons  m  a  worihipping  Con- 
gregation. 

2.  About  14  or  15  Pfalms  that  were  trnnflated 
in  the  firft  Edition  are  left  out  in  this,  becaufe 
i  intend  (if  God  afford  Life  and  Afiiftance)  to 
convert  the  biggeft  Part  of  the  Book  of  Pfalms 
-into  Spiritual  Songs,  for  the  Ufe  of  Chriftians. 

3.  In  all  the  longer  Hymns,  and  in  fome  of 
the  Shorter,  there  are  feveral  Stanza's  included 
in  Crotchets,  thus  []  ;  which  Stanza's  may  be 
le/t  out  in  Singing,  without  difturbing  the  Senfe. 
Thole  Parts  are  alio  included  in  fuch  Crotchets, 
which  contain  Words  too  poetical  for  meaner 
Undemanding,  or  toe  particular  for  whole  Con- 
gregations to  fing.  But  after  all,  it  is  beft  in 
public  Piklmody  Miuifter  to  chufe  the 

particular
